You can feel the excitement in the air.. students are feeling the end of the school year, which is literally around the corner, and making summer plans.
As parents, we're excited for them as well; schedules are more lax, the days are longer and we can enjoy the warm weather outdoors. Children will be getting together with their friends outdoors and in. They will also be spending more time online so this is a good time to speak to your children again about safe social networking practices. Take a look and see what social media sites they're on and do your homework to ensure they are safe and on age appropriate sites.
Teach your child how to recognize cyberbullying and what to do if they encounter a bully online. Safety is what is important so remind them that when they are in chatrooms they don't necessarily know who they are chatting with.
Remind your child not to share any personal information with anyone.
Take the time to slow down and enjoy the summer with them, it's over so fast.
